HEYMANN KARGER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

CLOTHES-LINE HANGER;

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 654,312, dated July 24,1900.

Application filed January 29, 1900l Serial No. 3,084. (No model.)

of New York, have invented cert-ain new and useful Improvement-s inClothes-Line Hangers, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to clothesline hangers, and has for its obj ect toprovide a hanger 1o for clothes-lines which will enable the person.

putting the wash out to do so Without leaning out of the win dow andwithout having to shift the point of support of the hanger.

Having reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof,Figure 1 shows my device as applied to a windowframe. Fig. 2 is a planof the device, and Fig. 3 is a detailed view of the pivotal parts.

My clothes-line hanger comprises a bar A,

zo pivoted at B and having two ends, a shorter C and a longer C',provided with pulleys c c', respectively. The pivotal point B of the barA is not in the center of its length, but is much nearer one end C thanit is to the other Its support is composed of a plate D, adapted forsecurement to a window-frame or other suitable surface, from which plateprojects a standard or arm D', which arm is of reduced thickness at itsouter end, thus 3o making a shoulder and a pintle d for the bar to turnon. The end of the pintle d is screwthreaded to receive a nut d.

In Fig. 1 my device is shown as applied to a window-frame. A portion ofthe window,

its sill, and the contiguous parts of the house 4o and is supposed to bepassed over a pulley (not shown) on a pole or wall and is passed overthe pulleys c c. When it is desired to hang the clothes upon the line,the lower end ofthe bar is raised to a horizontal position and is thrownover a button f. To more read ily permit of this being done, the edgesof the hole in the bar A are rounded at a a, the shoulder on the arm Dis rounded, and the nut d is not screwed tight against the bar, all ofwhich allows sufficient lateral or oscillatory movement to permit thebar to conveniently pass the button. This construction affords a simpleand efficient fastening device, the raising and fastening and theunfastening and lowering requiring the use of but one hand. ThebarAbeing in its dottedposition, the clothes may readily be hung uponthe line e by a person standing in the room and Without the dangersincident to reaching out of the window to hang them up. The end C' ofthe bar, which is brought into the house, is longer than the end C, andit has a much greater curve. This construction keeps the upper and lowerportions of the rope apart while the clothes are being put on it andgives ample room for the hands and clothes-pins., After the clothes arehung up the bar is lifted from the button and it assumes the positionshown in full lines, its general construction and the weight of the linee retaining it in such position.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

In a clothes-line hanger the combination of a bar A having agreater-curved end C' and a lesser-curved end C, such ends beingprovided with pulleys c', c respectively, said bar being mounted on apivot and being rounded off at, a, its point of engagement therewith;and a pivot comprising a pintle d', a shouldered arm D a plate D and anut d, all arranged to permit at the same time a rotation andoscillation of the bar, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
